No, 25 markers are synoptic questions and they cover all aspects of the spec.

It can be anything they’re her predictions based on previous years and gaps and stuff
She’s ‘disclaimed’ many times they’re just predictions and she has no knowledge of what they will definitely be or anything -could be 2 of them could be completely different :tongue:

i really do understand how u feel, from what i think u do look like a high achieving and hard working student. HONESTLY do not worry ! u know why coz i know that u 100% did better than u think, bio is always like that. i use to come out of mocks and say what the hell was that and then get really well bio is legit so hard to predict, dont let that destroy ur confidence. uve got this !

Pro tip (disclaimer not a pro) do essay like 30 min into the paper so that you know you’ve done it or do like a couple paragraphs so u know you’ve done at least some of it:smile:
have any people other than miss estruch done essay predictions. I figure if I plan for like 5-10 predicted essay one of them is bound to come up

I haven’t seen any others. Tbh with essays I feel like the main points are often said regardless of title so if you plan some old ones even if they don’t come up you will have content down and be fine
